      \n
    • Routine Maintenance:<\/strong> Sony occasionally takes servers offline to deploy system updates or backend improvements. These are usually scheduled and announced in advance.<\/li>\n
    • Unexpected Server Outages:<\/strong> Sudden influxes of players\u2014often during major game launches (like a new Call of Duty<\/em> or GTA<\/em>)\u2014can overwhelm the servers, resulting in a temporary crash.<\/li>\n
